A trip to the eldest grandson's house, although the relatives did not get along, but also let Zhang Huan have the idea of forming a polo team, on the one hand, in order to train riding and tactics, on the other hand, it is also for the entertainment of the soldiers, Zhang Huan carried out polo training in the army as early as Taiyuan, everyone has to practice polo, it is a coincidence, there are two standard polo fields in the east inner garden of Daming Palace, a few days ago to solicit the opinions of the army, and the soldiers unanimously asked for the establishment of a polo team.

At the request of everyone, Zhang Huan set up ten polo teams, which usually compete with each other, and when the Datang polo match begins, he will select its elite to represent the Tianqi Camp to participate.

In addition to the soldiers on duty, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers formed a large circle, shouting and cheering for the two polo teams in a hoarse voice, the scene was extremely hot and enthusiastic, and even some eunuchs in the palace who loved polo also secretly came to watch the game.

Like today's football, polo also pays great attention to tactics and cooperation, pays attention to the deployment of troops, a high-level polo game is like a small-scale war, the two teams are like ghosts, running like flying, playing wave after wave of climax, seeing the soldiers are drunk, their hands are swollen, and their voices are hoarse.

On a high wooden platform, Zhang Huan and several officers were watching the game with great interest, and next to him sat a young staff member who had just been recruited, this person had a relationship with Zhang Huan, and he also had a considerable status in history, he was known as Han Yu, the head of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Han Yu was originally the eye of the provincial examination list today, but unfortunately he was not able to enter the official in the end, here we need to explain the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, and those who take the provincial examination in Shangshu Province every year are called Jinshi and the first, but that is only to obtain the qualification to be an official.

Then the next is the selection examination of the ministry, that is, the interview of the official, depending on his appearance, life experience, and morality, and he can only be awarded after passing, so many Jinshi did not pass the selection test, and then took the road of being a powerful staff, and then they recommended them to join the office.

Han Yu did not pass the selection test because of his poor background, and he had no way to take refuge, coupled with his poor family background, he was poor in the capital, and he relied on friends to help him live, a few days ago, he happened to meet Song Lianyu in the same department, only to learn that Zhang Huan was a high-ranking official, so he was cheeky to vote, and it was also a coincidence that Zhang Huan just needed someone to sort out the documents for him, and in this way, Han Yu became Zhang Huan's first staff.

"Hit!" The east side of the arena suddenly thundered with joy, but the west side was silent, He Lou Wuji laughed on the wooden platform, and was so excited that he slapped his legs again and again, while Li Hengqiu, who was sitting next to him, had a gloomy face and was silent.

Zhang Huan smiled on the side: "Hengqiu, now you are still ahead, what are you worried about?" ”

Li Hengqiu broke the wooden branch in his hand in two sections, and said hatefully: "It's useless to lead the way, I bet to win the opponent's five balls, and it's all in vain." ”

He Lou Wuji glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and snorted coldly: "I heard that this person's gambling has always been bad, he has to win every time, and he wants to win big, and if he loses a little, it is like a dead old man." “

Li Hengqiu was furious when he heard this, and shouted violently: "Little boy, Lao Tzu has always admitted to gambling and losing, where is the gambling bad?" ”

He stepped forward and picked up his old fist and hit it, He Lou Wuji did not show weakness, stood up and shouted, "You dare to say who is the little brat!" ”

"Shut up!"

Zhang Huan's face was gloomy, he kicked Li Hengqiu off the wooden platform, and then whipped He Lou Wuji with his hand, and said coldly to the two: "Since you want to fight, then give me a knife to see who can kill whom!" ”

Seeing Zhang Huan's anger, the two didn't dare to say another word, and honestly sat back to watch the game.

At this time, Han Yu next to him smiled and said: "It's not to blame them, in the past, when we played polo in the academy, everyone made their own bets, and people who usually had a very good relationship would turn their faces for winning or losing, we called this 'polo madness', and there was no need to be angry about this little thing." ”

Zhang Huan glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Do you also play polo when you retreat?" Do you want me to arrange for you to play again? ”

"Nope! No. ”

Han Yu was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, "I've fought a few times, but the level is too poor, and it's really a world of difference compared to the elite cavalry of the Heavenly Riding Battalion, so don't let me make a fool of myself." ”

Zhang Huan laughed, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Each other, in fact, I also stink." ”

The west stand suddenly cheered, Li Hengqiu craned his neck, grinning happily, but He Lou Wuji pursed his lips, not knowing what to mumble.

"Retreat, I have something I want to entrust you to do."

Han Yu hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "The general doesn't have to be polite, just give orders." ”

The smile on Zhang Huan's face became relaxed, and he pondered for a moment before saying to Han Yu: "I plan to participate in a polo tournament this autumn, but there are too few people around me who are good at strategy and tactics, so I plan to recruit more capable people, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter, so you will arrange it for me!" ”

Han Yu came to his senses, and he smiled meaningfully, "Does it mean to go to the sick, in the name of recruiting polo strategists?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Huan made eye contact with him and smiled slyly......

At this moment, a soldier rushed to the scene and shouted: "General! The Lord came and waited outside the gate. ”

"Temperance envoy?" Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted that it was Zhang Potian who came, and he stood up and walked quickly towards the gate.

Outside the gate, Zhang Potian stood dozens of steps away with a gloomy face under the sanitation of a hundred guards.

"Fourth uncle, why are you here?"

Zhang Huan hurriedly greeted him, bowed to him and gave him a long salute, but when he looked up, he saw Zhang Potian's face sinking like water, and his eyes looked at him coldly.

"Fourth Uncle is angry that the soldiers are blocking it?"

Zhang Huan hurriedly explained with a smile: "This can't be helped, if you don't strictly check, it will be very inappropriate to be caught." ”

"Let me ask you, how did Liu Yuanqing die?"

Zhang Potian's eyes seemed to shoot an ice arrow, "And Zhang Ruojin, I went to visit the head of the family, he has denied that he did it, you have to explain it to me!" ”

"Is that all there are to you?" Zhang Huan smiled faintly and said, "Fourth uncle, please come into the house with me to talk." ”

．．．．．．．．

"Say it! Tell me your reasons in detail. ”

After walking with Zhang Huan, the anger in Zhang Potian's heart gradually calmed down a lot, and he also knew that Zhang Huan was not a reckless person, there must be hidden secrets, and when he entered Zhang Huan's room, he did not immediately question, but sat down and waited for him to explain to himself.

"If I say that Liu Yuanqing has been bought by Cui Yuan and wants him to take away the Tianqi Camp, does the fourth uncle believe it?"

Some things don't have to be said too much, the key is to be accurate, thorough, and to the point, then there is a convincing effect, and there is indeed no need to speak at length to persuade Zhang Potian, Zhang Huan only needs to point out the scene he had ten years ago, and all the problems will be solved.

Zhang Potian didn't say a word, in fact, he had already realized that it would be this reason, but he wanted Zhang Huan to say it himself, he himself didn't want the tragedy that happened to him to happen again.

After a while, he sighed, patted Zhang Huan's shoulder lightly and said, "Zhang Ruojin is in the same situation!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Huan nodded calmly.

Zhang Potian was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "What you said, the head of the family has actually guessed it, the problem is not that you killed Liu Yuanqing and Zhang Ruojin, but in your position, are you a child of the Zhang family, and you are really the emperor's henchman, if you are still a child of the Zhang family, then why didn't you report to the head of the family before doing these two things?" ”

Zhang Huan was also silent, and he suddenly realized that the first fork in the road of his life had appeared in front of him, whether to follow the road laid by the Zhang family, or to cut down thorns and open up a path of his own.

Two paths, where does he go?

．．．．．．．
